The Fallbrook High School varsity girls' rugby team scored fast and early in running away from host Rancho Bernardo High School Saturday, Jan. 18, to come away with a 77-0 win.
Senior Abbey Savin scored four tries and made three conversions, and sophomores Jordan Duncan, Julia Tippin and Tiahna Padilla each scored twice in the Warriors win that opened the league season. Tippin also made two conversions.
Duncan was named Rugby Girl for the match.
"(She) ran good running lines from deep and was involved looking for work," head coach Craig Pinnell said after the match.
Captain Shelby Tippin scored one try, made two conversions and scored a three-point drop-kick goal. Freshman Liberty Benitez also scored a try for the Warriors.
The Warriors junior varsity team was just as successful as the varsity team, shutting out the host Broncos 32-0.
Pinnell said Elaine Jimenez "took ownership of the lineouts, threw in well and was a leader on the field and that Liberty Benitez was kicking well and running good angles and kicked a drop goal."
AJ Haughey scored twice for the Warriors and Grace Gabaldon, Kaylie Diaz and Lucy Powell each scored once.
The Warriors will travel to Torrey Pines High School Saturday to take on the Falcons.
